Before it was invented, sailors had to depend on the star to find the right direction. After it was invented, the oceans were open to sail and many discoveries were made with its help. Gunpowder was one of the greatest inventions. It is said that in the third century a Chinese man wrote about how to make it. At first it was used for making fireworks. At the end of the Tang dynasty, people began to use it in wars. Before paper-making was invented, the ancient Chinese carved characters on animal bones and stones. China was the first country in the world to make it. During the Western Han dynasty, it was made in some places in China and was developed in the Eastern Han dynasty by Cai Lun. Printing was developed in the Song dynasty by Bi Sheng. He carved characters on pieces of clay or wood and then brushed ink on them. After the characters were printed on paper, the pieces of clay or wood could be used again. Later his technology spread to Korea, Japan and Europe. 根据表格内容选择最佳答案。 1．What is used to tell the sailors the right direction? A．Compass. B．Gunpowder. C．Paper-making.

Passage 2 （24-25九年级上·河南南阳·期末） Nowadays the pollution of the sea is becoming an increasingly serious problem. How can we reduce the pollution in the sea and make the underwater environment better? Scientists in Norway have created an underwater robot, which can help a lot. The robot is 45 kg in weight and uses special cameras to get 3D images (图像). It can discover different kinds of pollution at the bottom of the sea. It will help clean-up teams find the areas where there is rubbish and then they can spend most of their time and money removing (清除) the most harmful materials. The researchers put their work to the test in a bay (海湾) in the city of Bergen. First, the robot swam up and down two meters above the seabed, collecting information. Then a computer turned the information into a map, which showed different rubbish materials in different colors. Thousands of objects were discovered in the bay, including bottles, metals, plastics, etc. “Bergen is a place where different industries come together, and the city is quite old, so there’s a huge amount of rubbish,” said Trygve Olav Fossum, one of the researchers. “We think the rubbish in the bay weighs 150 tons to 300 tons.” It is not always possible to remove everything. Some things are more harmful, so it’s more important to clear them from the sea. “Glass isn’t really polluting the sea,” said Fossum. “So if you know there’s an area with a lot of glass, you don’t need to worry much about that and you can pay more attention to the things that are putting heavy metals into the environment.” The maps will be used to help the clean-up teams locate (定位) the most harmful materials so that they can remove them first. Thanks to the development of the science and technology, the underwater environment can be improved a lot. As well as helping to deal with pollution, the robot can also show where creatures like starfish are on the seabed. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 6．The topic of the passage is about ________.

A．Clean-up teams want to recycle the rubbish. B．The underwater pollution attracts much attention. C．There are much different rubbish in different colors. D．People shouldn’t throw harmful materials into the sea. 9．What’s the writer’s purpose of taking glass for example in Paragraph 4? A．To show it isn’t always possible to remove everything. B．To explain how serious the water pollution is in the bay. C．To tell us the most harmful things should be removed first. D．To call on clean-up teams to pay more attention to removing glass. 10．What’s the best title for the text?

Whether we’re at work or on vacation, it can be difficult to make sure they’re looked after well. To solve the problem, a new pet care technology comes in. The pet care technology helps us take care of our pets even when we’re not around. It has many advantages. One of the advantages of the pet care technology is feeding pets without people’s help. We can set the device (设备) to give our pets food and water at certain times, so they’ re never hungry, overfed or thirsty. Another good thing about the pet care technology is that it lets us monitor (监控) our pets’ activity levels. The device has a camera and sensors (传感器) that can tell us if there’s any unusual activity or if our pets are feeling sad or upset. The pet care technology also keeps our pets safe. For example, some devices have alarms (警报器) that will sound if there’s a break-in or a fire. This way, we know our pets are protected, even when we’re far away. And the best thing about the pet care technology is that it’s very handy. With just a few touches on our phone, we can see what our pets are doing, when they’re eating, and how they’re feeling. This makes it easy for us to take good care of them, even when we’re not at home. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 21．What does Paragraph 1 mainly tell us? A．What our daily lives are like.

This is called mind wandering (心智游移). Mind wandering is surprisingly common. Some studies find that people may spend about 47% of their day mind wandering. It can happen anytime anywhere, especially when people are relaxed. Here’s when our minds wander the most: taking a shower, 65%; sitting in a car, 60%; listening to music, 55%. Why do our minds wander? Some researchers think people are too-familiar with their daily routines to keep focused. Others think our minds may wander when the thing we’re supposed to be doing is not interesting enough. Early studies found mind-wandering might lead to problems like unhappiness and a shorter life. But now scientists find that mind wandering sometimes may improve creative thinking. In one study, researchers asked participants (参与者) to list new uses for everyday objects, like clothes hangers or a newspaper. The result showed that people whose minds often wandered showed greater creativity. What should we do with mind wandering? Of course there are times when you should try to focus your attention, like when riding a bike or taking an important test. But always remember that there are many wonderful things in the world that you can notice when you let your mind wander. So, let yourself look out of the window or stare at clouds, or even close your eyes and simply “be”. 26．How does the writer lead into the topic “mind wandering”? A．By telling a joke. B．By making a survey. C．By giving an example. D．By using an old saying. 27．According to the text, in what situation might people’s mind wander more? A．Taking a test. B．Sitting in a car. C．Playing soccer. D．Giving a speech. 28．What do we know about mind wandering? A．It might make people happy and live longer. B．It may make people have more creative ideas. C．It happens when people are doing something interesting. D．People may spend more than half a day mind wandering. 29．What is the structure of the text? (P-Paragraph) A． B． C． D． 30．What is the writer’s opinion about mind wandering? A．It is OK to let your mind wander. B．It always brings benefits to people. C．It may only cause trouble to people. D．It is a must to keep focused all the time. Passage 2 （24-25九年级上·河南郑州·期末） People know animals do have feelings, but they are not sure if these feelings are correctly understood. In recent years, scientists have done research on the feelings of cows, frogs and pandas. ▲ It says that humans can tell whether a chicken is happy or sad by listening to its calls. The researchers put a bowl behind a door. Inside the bowl, sometimes, there was something chickens love to eat, such as rice or insects. Sometimes, there was nothing. When the chickens saw food behind the door, they seemed happy and produced fast and loud sounds, known as food calls. When there wasn’t food, the chickens made low and long noises to express disappointment. The researchers recorded all these sounds and studied their waves. Then the researchers chose 16 recordings of such chicken noises. Half were from the chickens seeing the food and half were from the chickens finding no food. The recordings were played to 194 volunteers. Sixty-nine percent of the volunteers correctly understood whether the chickens were feeling happy or not, and some of them even had no experience of taking care of chickens. The result shows that humans have the natural ability to understand the feelings of chickens. Hopefully, this finding can bring about new technology to help with chicken-raising, a big industry (产业) in many countries. Some scientists are already working on a smart computer program that can identify (辨别) chickens’ feelings. This is good news for farmers who want to make the birds happier and healthier. 31．Which of the following can be put in “ ▲ ” in Paragraph 1? A．Nobody knows why this happens. B．A new study adds chickens to the list. C．Humans may not like some other animals. D．Scientists know nothing about other animals. 32．Which is most probably the sound wave of a happy call by a chicken? A．B． C． D． 33．How does the writer develop his idea in Paragraph 2? A．By telling a story about feeding chickens. B．By showing the different ways of feeding chickens. C．By describing the process and findings of an experiment. D．By introducing chicken’s feelings of happiness and disappointment. 34．Why did the researchers play the recordings to 194 volunteers? A．To listen to the chicken calls. B．To learn to take care of the chickens. C．To find out whether the chickens are happy or not. D．To find out if humans can understand the feelings of chickens. 35．What is the writer’s purpose in writing the text? A．To introduce chicken’s calls. B．To encourage people to raise more chickens. C．To explain why chickens have happy or sad feelings. D．To help with chicken-raising by understanding chickens’ feelings.

What does the expression mean and when should people use it? “Mayday” is an emergency (紧急) code word. It is used around the world in voice communication. You might see a war movie in which an airplane is hit. The pilot turns on his radio and calls “mayday, mayday, mayday” to tell that his plane is in danger of crashing to the ground. “Mayday” has nothing to do with the month of May. It comes from a French expression which means “help me”. Mockford created “mayday” in the 1920s. Mockford was a radio officer at Croydon Airport in London. He was asked to think up a word that could be used in an emergency. The word had to be easily understood by all pilots and airport workers. Much of the air traffic at that time was between Croydon Airport and Le Bourget Airport near Paris. And the expression “mayday” he created sounded like a French word which meant “help me”. So the word “mayday” finally came into use. Today, many groups use the word to mean a life-treating emergency. The call is always given three times to prevent mistaking it for some similar sounding words. Many other French words are commonly used in English. Do you know any other word and its story? 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 1．What does the word “mayday” mean according to the passage? A．Help me. B．The first day of May. C．Follow me. D．Nothing is in danger. 2．When was the word “mayday” created? A．In the 1910s. B．In the 1920s. C．In the 1930s. D．In the 1940s. 3．Who had to understand the word “mayday” according to the passage? A．All the people in the world. B．All the people in the plane. C．All the soldiers in the war. D．All pilots and airport workers. 4．How many times is the word “mayday” always given when there is an emergency? A．Two. B．Three. C．Four. D．Five. 5．Where can we find the passage? A．A visit poster. B．A rent ad. C．A sports program. D．An English magazine. Passage 2 （24-25九年级上·河南郑州·期末）     Have you ever picked someone up at the airport? It can be challenging, especially if you’ve never done it before. After all, most airports are large and busy. Here is what you need to know before you go. WHAT SHOULD YOU BRING?     A sign: It’ll make it much easier for your guests to find you in the crowd at the exit gate. Snacks: Airplane food doesn’t always taste good. Your guests may be hungry after hours of travel. Bringing some snacks is a good idea. WHERE SHOULD YOU GO?     Planes may be arriving from different places at the same time. Larger airports usually have several different exit gates. Always check with the airport customer service or website to find out where to pick up your guests. Once you arrive at the correct exit gate, follow the signs to the “Arrivals (到达)” area. This is where your guests will be waiting. There are usually several screens displaying real-time flight information. WHEN SHOULD YOU ARRIVE?     It’s hard to say how long it will take your guests to complete arrival steps. But you can do a rough calculation (粗略的计算).     Are they arriving on a national or international flight? International arrivals must go through customs (海关). Take Shanghai Pudong International Airport for example. It usually takes at least 30 minutes to exit. If your guests are arriving on a national flight, they can usually exit the airport in 10 or 20 minutes. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 6．Why does the writer think picking someone up at the airport is challenging?

Scientists are suggesting that humans can even guess someone’s name based on how they look. Researchers at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem collected thousands of photos of people’s faces. They put four names under each photo. Then, they asked volunteers to guess which of the four names was correct. The volunteers were able to guess the right name 38 percent of the time. It seems that humans recognize certain characteristics (特点) that can give them clues (线索) about someone’s name, Reader’s Digest reported. However, this only works when we’re looking at names within our own culture. Volunteers were also not as good at guessing the real names of people who use nicknames. This shows that a person’s appearance is affected by their name only if they use it often. This kind of face-name matching happens “because of a process of self-fulfilling prophecy (自我实现预言), as we become what other people expect us to become,” Ruth Mayo, from the university, told science news website EurekAlert. Some other studies have shown that gender (性别) and race (种族) stereotypes (偏见) can affect a person’s appearance. The researchers believe there are also similar stereotypes about names. For example, people tend to (倾向于) think that men named Bob should have rounder faces because the word itself looks round. People may think that women named Rose are beautiful. They expect them to be delicate and feminine, just like the flower they are named for. 11．What is the purpose of Paragraph 1? A．To correct the mistakes in names. B．To explain the reason for writing. C．To introduce ways of doing research. D．To lead in the topic of the text. 12．How could some of the volunteers guess the right names? A．By guessing about the meaning of the names. B．By connecting people’s faces with the names. C．With the help of people’s working experience. D．With the help of the science website EurekAlert. 13．What can we learn from Paragraphs 3 and 4? A．It is easy for the volunteers to guess the real names of the people. B．People will surely become what others expect them to be in the end. C．Other people’s expectation may have an influence on our appearance. D．Guessing one’s nickname might be difficult unless he or she often uses it. 14．How does the writer explain the stereotypes about names? A．By giving examples. B．By raising questions. C．By listing numbers. D．By comparing differences. 15．What is the text? A．A result of a study. B．An introduction to a university. C．A name of a research. D．An instruction of volunteering. 主题02 人与自我——方法与策略 Passage 1 （24-25九年级上·河南郑州·期末）Have you ever imagined yourself as the main role of a hero story? It might more than just excite your imagination. The hero’s journey, which was first made popular by Joseph Campbell in his 1949 book The Hero with a Thousand Faces, is a common theme (主题) in stories. Heroes like Mulan and Harry Potter, start life-changing journeys, face great dangers, and come back changed for the better. Research suggests that seeing life through the lens (滤镜) of a hero’s journey can help you cut down stress (压力) and feel more sure about yourself, which in turn lead to greater life satisfaction. Benjamin A．Rogers, one of the researchers, explains, “The way people tell their life stories shapes how meaningful their lives feel”. Rogers believes that thinking of your favorite hero’s story gives you a full view of what might be next for you, or what you should be paying attention to. It makes you believe that a new journey almost certainly awaits (降临于) you. How can you start imagining your life as a hero’s journey? First, reconsider who you are. Ask yourself, what makes you you? Who’s your favorite role in a movie or book? In what way can you relate to him/her? Writing down the answers can help you see yourself through a more heroic lens. Next, change the way you see difficulties. Going through a hard time? Think of them as chances for growth and learning. A difficulty is a chance to be the hero of your own story. Then, go on your own heroic trips. It’s about finding out something new to do, like walking a new way to school or borrowing a bike and riding it to school. Every hero starts with one step.

If so, I bet (敢说) that person said sorry to you at least once! 26 Most Brits make sure they say sorry when they sneeze (打喷嚏)correct someone else’s mistake or are late for a meeting. But they also say sorry for the weather. And they often say sorry to you when you bump (碰撞)into them on the street. They say sorry when they can’t hear what you’re saying. 27 So just how many times a day does the Brit say sorry? According to a survey of more than 1, 000 Brits, the answer was eight. And one in eight Brits says sorry up to 20 times a day! 28 At first, it meant “painful, very upset and full of sorrow.” However, but this doesn’t mean we feel sorry more often. 29 It’s just a more polite way of saying.“We don’t really care, but we feel we should say something.” Some researchers think the popularity of saying sorry has something to do with the British class system (阶级制度). We apologize because we think we may have more advantages than those we are talking to. If you visit a British family, your host may say sorry to you several times a day.

How can we reduce the pollution in the sea and make the underwater environment better? Scientists in Norway have created an underwater robot, which can help a lot. The robot is 45 kg in weight and uses special cameras to get 3D images (图像). It can discover different kinds of pollution at the bottom of the sea. It will help clean-up teams find the areas where there is rubbish and then they can spend most of their time and money removing (清除) the most harmful materials. The researchers put their work to the test in a bay (海湾) in the city of Bergen. First, the robot swam up and down two meters above the seabed, collecting information. Then a computer turned the information into a map, which showed different rubbish materials in different colors. Thousands of objects were discovered in the bay, including bottles, metals, plastics, etc. “Bergen is a place where different industries come together, and the city is quite old, so there’s a huge amount of rubbish,” said Trygve Olav Fossum, one of the researchers. “We think the rubbish in the bay weighs 150 tons to 300 tons.” It is not always possible to remove everything. Some things are more harmful, so it’s more important to clear them from the sea. “Glass isn’t really polluting the sea,” said Fossum. “So if you know there’s an area with a lot of glass, you don’t need to worry much about that and you can pay more attention to the things that are putting heavy metals into the environment.” The maps will be used to help the clean-up teams locate (定位) the most harmful materials so that they can remove them first. Thanks to the development of the science and technology, the underwater environment can be improved a lot. As well as helping to deal with pollution, the robot can also show where creatures like starfish are on the seabed. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 6．The topic of the passage is about ________.

D．People shouldn’t throw harmful materials into the sea. 9．What’s the writer’s purpose of taking glass for example in Paragraph 4? A．To show it isn’t always possible to remove everything. B．To explain how serious the water pollution is in the bay. C．To tell us the most harmful things should be removed first. D．To call on clean-up teams to pay more attention to removing glass. 10．What’s the best title for the text?

This is called mind wandering (心智游移). Mind wandering is surprisingly common. Some studies find that people may spend about 47% of their day mind wandering. It can happen anytime anywhere, especially when people are relaxed. Here’s when our minds wander the most: taking a shower, 65%; sitting in a car, 60%; listening to music, 55%. Why do our minds wander? Some researchers think people are too-familiar with their daily routines to keep focused. Others think our minds may wander when the thing we’re supposed to be doing is not interesting enough. Early studies found mind-wandering might lead to problems like unhappiness and a shorter life. But now scientists find that mind wandering sometimes may improve creative thinking. In one study, researchers asked participants (参与者) to list new uses for everyday objects, like clothes hangers or a newspaper. The result showed that people whose minds often wandered showed greater creativity. What should we do with mind wandering? Of course there are times when you should try to focus your attention, like when riding a bike or taking an important test. But always remember that there are many wonderful things in the world that you can notice when you let your mind wander. So, let yourself look out of the window or stare at clouds, or even close your eyes and simply “be”. 26．How does the writer lead into the topic “mind wandering”? A．By telling a joke. B．By making a survey. C．By giving an example. D．By using an old saying. 27．According to the text, in what situation might people’s mind wander more? A．Taking a test. B．Sitting in a car. C．Playing soccer. D．Giving a speech. 28．What do we know about mind wandering? A．It might make people happy and live longer. B．It may make people have more creative ideas.

In recent years, scientists have done research on the feelings of cows, frogs and pandas. ▲ It says that humans can tell whether a chicken is happy or sad by listening to its calls. The researchers put a bowl behind a door. Inside the bowl, sometimes, there was something chickens love to eat, such as rice or insects. Sometimes, there was nothing. When the chickens saw food behind the door, they seemed happy and produced fast and loud sounds, known as food calls. When there wasn’t food, the chickens made low and long noises to express disappointment. The researchers recorded all these sounds and studied their waves. Then the researchers chose 16 recordings of such chicken noises. Half were from the chickens seeing the food and half were from the chickens finding no food. The recordings were played to 194 volunteers. Sixty-nine percent of the volunteers correctly understood whether the chickens were feeling happy or not, and some of them even had no experience of taking care of chickens. The result shows that humans have the natural ability to understand the feelings of chickens. Hopefully, this finding can bring about new technology to help with chicken-raising, a big industry (产业) in many countries. Some scientists are already working on a smart computer program that can identify (辨别) chickens’ feelings. This is good news for farmers who want to make the birds happier and healthier. 31．Which of the following can be put in “ ▲ ” in Paragraph 1? A．Nobody knows why this happens. B．A new study adds chickens to the list. C．Humans may not like some other animals. D．Scientists know nothing about other animals. 32．Which is most probably the sound wave of a happy call by a chicken? A．B． C． D． 33．How does the writer develop his idea in Paragraph 2? A．By telling a story about feeding chickens. B．By showing the different ways of feeding chickens. C．By describing the process and findings of an experiment. D．By introducing chicken’s feelings of happiness and disappointment. 34．Why did the researchers play the recordings to 194 volunteers? A．To listen to the chicken calls. B．To learn to take care of the chickens. C．To find out whether the chickens are happy or not. D．To find out if humans can understand the feelings of chickens. 35．What is the writer’s purpose in writing the text? A．To introduce chicken’s calls. B．To encourage people to raise more chickens. C．To explain why chickens have happy or sad feelings. D．To help with chicken-raising by understanding chickens’ feelings. 【答案】31．B 32．A 33．C 34．D 35．D 【导语】本文主要介绍了科学家对鸡情感的研究，研究人员通过实验发现鸡看到食物和没看到食物时叫声不同，将叫声录音播放给志愿者，结果表明人类有理解鸡情感的能力，该研究有望助力养鸡业。 31．推理判断题。根据“In recent years, scientists have done research about the feelings of cows, frogs and pandas.”以及“It says that humans can tell whether a chicken is happy or sad by listening to its calls.”可知，前文提到科学家对牛、青蛙和熊猫等动物情感的研究，后文具体阐述关于鸡情感的研究，中间应填个过渡句，起到承上启下的作用，选项B“一项新研究将鸡也列入了研究名单”符合语境。故选B。 32．推理判断题。根据“When the chickens saw food behind the door, they seemed happy and produced fast and loud sounds, known as food calls.”可知，当鸡看到门后有食物时，它们似乎很高兴，发出快速而响亮的声音，快速而响亮的声音对应的声波应是波峰紧密且振幅较大，A选项的声波图符合这一特点。故选A。 33．细节理解题。根据“The researchers put a bowl behind a door ... When there wasn’t food, the chickens made low and long noises to express disappointment. The researchers recorded all these sounds and studied their waves.”可知，第二段中作者描述了研究人员将碗放在门后，有时放食物有时不放，观察鸡看到食物和没看到食物时的不同叫声，记录声音并研究其声波，这是在描述一个实验的过程和发现。故选C。 34．细节理解题。根据“The result shows that humans have the natural ability to understand the feelings of chickens.”可知，研究人员将录音播放给志愿者，是为了验证人类是否能理解鸡的情感。故选D。 35．主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章主要介绍了科学家对鸡情感的研究，结合最后一段“Hopefully, this finding can bring about new technology to help with chicken-raising, a big industry (产业) in many countries.”，说明作者的目的是通过理解鸡的情感来助力养鸡业。故选D。 Passage 3 （24-25九年级上·河南驻马店·期末） There are over 400 kinds of traditional Chinese cultural objects.

What does the expression mean and when should people use it? “Mayday” is an emergency (紧急) code word. It is used around the world in voice communication. You might see a war movie in which an airplane is hit. The pilot turns on his radio and calls “mayday, mayday, mayday” to tell that his plane is in danger of crashing to the ground. “Mayday” has nothing to do with the month of May. It comes from a French expression which means “help me”. Mockford created “mayday” in the 1920s. Mockford was a radio officer at Croydon Airport in London. He was asked to think up a word that could be used in an emergency. The word had to be easily understood by all pilots and airport workers. Much of the air traffic at that time was between Croydon Airport and Le Bourget Airport near Paris. And the expression “mayday” he created sounded like a French word which meant “help me”. So the word “mayday” finally came into use. Today, many groups use the word to mean a life-treating emergency. The call is always given three times to prevent mistaking it for some similar sounding words. Many other French words are commonly used in English. Do you know any other word and its story? 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 1．What does the word “mayday” mean according to the passage? A．Help me. B．The first day of May. C．Follow me. D．Nothing is in danger. 2．When was the word “mayday” created? A．In the 1910s. B．In the 1920s. C．In the 1930s. D．In the 1940s. 3．Who had to understand the word “mayday” according to the passage? A．All the people in the world. B．All the people in the plane. C．All the soldiers in the war. D．All pilots and airport workers. 4．How many times is the word “mayday” always given when there is an emergency? A．Two. B．Three. C．Four. D．Five. 5．Where can we find the passage? A．A visit poster. B．A rent ad. C．A sports program. D．An English magazine. 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．D 4．B 5．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了“mayday”是紧急状况信号词，它通常应用于世界范围内的语音交流。它与“五月”没有任何联系，它的含义是“救救我”。 1．细节理解题。根据“It comes from a French expression which means ‘help me’.”可知，“mayday”的含义为help me。故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据“Mockford created ‘mayday’ in the 1920s.”可知，“mayday”是在20世纪20年代创造出来的。故选B。 3．细节理解题。根据“The word had to be easily understood by all pilots and airport workers.”可知，飞行员和飞机工作人员必须知道“mayday”的意思。故选D。 4．细节理解题。由倒数第二段中的“The call is always given three times...”可知，这种呼叫总是重复三次。故选B。 5．推理判断题。文章主要介绍了“mayday”这个词的来源、含义和使用场合，属于英语语言文化方面的知识，因此最有可能出现在英语杂志上。故选D。 Passage 2 （24-25九年级上·河南郑州·期末）     Have you ever picked someone up at the airport? It can be challenging, especially if you’ve never done it before. After all, most airports are large and busy. Here is what you need to know before you go. WHAT SHOULD YOU BRING?     A sign: It’ll make it much easier for your guests to find you in the crowd at the exit gate. Snacks: Airplane food doesn’t always taste good. Your guests may be hungry after hours of travel. Bringing some snacks is a good idea. WHERE SHOULD YOU GO?     Planes may be arriving from different places at the same time. Larger airports usually have several different exit gates. Always check with the airport customer service or website to find out where to pick up your guests. Once you arrive at the correct exit gate, follow the signs to the “Arrivals (到达)” area. This is where your guests will be waiting. There are usually several screens displaying real-time flight information. WHEN SHOULD YOU ARRIVE?     It’s hard to say how long it will take your guests to complete arrival steps. But you can do a rough calculation (粗略的计算).     Are they arriving on a national or international flight? International arrivals must go through customs (海关). Take Shanghai Pudong International Airport for example. It usually takes at least 30 minutes to exit. If your guests are arriving on a national flight, they can usually exit the airport in 10 or 20 minutes. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 6．Why does the writer think picking someone up at the airport is challenging?

What does this mean exactly? Scientists are suggesting that humans can even guess someone’s name based on how they look. Researchers at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem collected thousands of photos of people’s faces. They put four names under each photo. Then, they asked volunteers to guess which of the four names was correct. The volunteers were able to guess the right name 38 percent of the time. It seems that humans recognize certain characteristics (特点) that can give them clues (线索) about someone’s name, Reader’s Digest reported. However, this only works when we’re looking at names within our own culture. Volunteers were also not as good at guessing the real names of people who use nicknames. This shows that a person’s appearance is affected by their name only if they use it often. This kind of face-name matching happens “because of a process of self-fulfilling prophecy (自我实现预言), as we become what other people expect us to become,” Ruth Mayo, from the university, told science news website EurekAlert. Some other studies have shown that gender (性别) and race (种族) stereotypes (偏见) can affect a person’s appearance. The researchers believe there are also similar stereotypes about names. For example, people tend to (倾向于) think that men named Bob should have rounder faces because the word itself looks round. People may think that women named Rose are beautiful. They expect them to be delicate and feminine, just like the flower they are named for. 11．What is the purpose of Paragraph 1? A．To correct the mistakes in names. B．To explain the reason for writing. C．To introduce ways of doing research. D．To lead in the topic of the text. 12．How could some of the volunteers guess the right names? A．By guessing about the meaning of the names. B．By connecting people’s faces with the names. C．With the help of people’s working experience. D．With the help of the science website EurekAlert. 13．What can we learn from Paragraphs 3 and 4? A．It is easy for the volunteers to guess the real names of the people. B．People will surely become what others expect them to be in the end. C．Other people’s expectation may have an influence on our appearance. D．Guessing one’s nickname might be difficult unless he or she often uses it. 14．How does the writer explain the stereotypes about names? A．By giving examples. B．By raising questions. C．By listing numbers. D．By comparing differences. 15．What is the text? A．A result of a study. B．An introduction to a university. C．A name of a research. D．An instruction of volunteering. 【答案】11．D 12．B 13．C 14．A 15．A 【导语】本文主要介绍了人们可以把人的名字和他们的外表人联系在一起，甚至可以根据长相猜出某人的名字，只有当一个人经常使用名字时，他的外表才会受到他们名字的影响。 11．推理判断题。根据“Have you ever met someone who ‘looks like’ their name? What does this mean exactly? Scientists are suggesting that humans can even guess someone’s name based on how they look.”可知，第一段主要介绍了研究的内容，因此是引入文章的主题。故选D。 12．细节理解题。根据“It seems that humans recognize certain characteristics (特点) that can give them clues (线索) about someone’s name”可知，志愿者是通过联系外表特点与名字来猜对名字的，故选B。 13．推理判断题。根据“This shows that a person’s appearance is affected by their name only if they use it often.”以及“because of a process of self-fulfilling prophecy (自我实现预言), as we become what other people expect us to become,”可知，他人的期待可能会影响我们的外貌。故选C。 14．细节理解题。根据“For example, people tend to (倾向于) think that men named Bob should have rounder faces because the word itself looks round. People may think that women named Rose are beautiful.”可知，作者通过举例子解释了关于名字的刻板印象，故选A。 15．主旨大意题。通读全文，本文主要介绍了人们可以把人的名字和他们的外表人联系在一起，甚至可以根据长相猜出某人的名字，只有当一个人经常使用名字时，他的外表才会受到他们名字的影响，因此本文是对一项研究结果的介绍，故选A。 主题02 人与自我——方法与策略 Passage 1 （24-25九年级上·河南郑州·期末）Have you ever imagined yourself as the main role of a hero story? It might more than just excite your imagination. The hero’s journey, which was first made popular by Joseph Campbell in his 1949 book The Hero with a Thousand Faces, is a common theme (主题) in stories. Heroes like Mulan and Harry Potter, start life-changing journeys, face great dangers, and come back changed for the better. Research suggests that seeing life through the lens (滤镜) of a hero’s journey can help you cut down stress (压力) and feel more sure about yourself, which in turn lead to greater life satisfaction. Benjamin A．Rogers, one of the researchers, explains, “The way people tell their life stories shapes how meaningful their lives feel”. Rogers believes that thinking of your favorite hero’s story gives you a full view of what might be next for you, or what you should be paying attention to. It makes you believe that a new journey almost certainly awaits (降临于) you. How can you start imagining your life as a hero’s journey? First, reconsider who you are. Ask yourself, what makes you you? Who’s your favorite role in a movie or book? In what way can you relate to him/her? Writing down the answers can help you see yourself through a more heroic lens. Next, change the way you see difficulties. Going through a hard time? Think of them as chances for growth and learning. A difficulty is a chance to be the hero of your own story. Then, go on your own heroic trips. It’s about finding out something new to do, like walking a new way to school or borrowing a bike and riding it to school. Every hero starts with one step. What’s your next move? Start today and let your own story begins. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 16．According to Joseph Campbell, what is a hero’s journey? A．A trip that includes finding hidden treasures and magical objects. B．A journey where a hero wins fame and money by beating enemies. C．A story where a hero solves problems and grows to be a better self. D．A journey where a hero experiences difficulties but remains unchanged. 17．Which paragraph discusses the importance of a hero’s journey? A．Paragraph 1. B．Paragraph 2. C．Paragraph 3. D．Paragraph 4. 18．Why does the writer use words from Benjamin Rogers in the text? A．To show that heroes always need a guide to succeed. B．To explain how heroes can solve every problem easily. C．To show that following a hero’s journey can help you avoid stress. D．To explain why seeing life as a hero’s journey can improve life satisfaction. 19．Which of the following can help you start your own hero’s journey? a. Ask your friend to help solve your problems in life. b. Write down how you can relate to your favorite hero. c. Follow the exact path of your favorite hero’s journey. d.

If so, I bet (敢说) that person said sorry to you at least once! 26 Most Brits make sure they say sorry when they sneeze (打喷嚏)correct someone else’s mistake or are late for a meeting. But they also say sorry for the weather. And they often say sorry to you when you bump (碰撞)into them on the street. They say sorry when they can’t hear what you’re saying. 27 So just how many times a day does the Brit say sorry? According to a survey of more than 1, 000 Brits, the answer was eight. And one in eight Brits says sorry up to 20 times a day! 28 At first, it meant “painful, very upset and full of sorrow.” However, but this doesn’t mean we feel sorry more often. 29 It’s just a more polite way of saying.“We don’t really care, but we feel we should say something.” Some researchers think the popularity of saying sorry has something to do with the British class system (阶级制度). We apologize because we think we may have more advantages than those we are talking to. If you visit a British family, your host may say sorry to you several times a day. Don’t feel strange or embarrassed. We are really sorry for saying sorry all the time. 30 Sorry about that! 根据材料内容, 从下面五个选项中选出能填入文中空缺处的最佳选项, 使文章意思通顺、内容完整。 A．Wait, did I just say “sorry” twice in one sentence?

But they also say sorry for the weather. And they often say sorry to you when you bump into them on the street. They say sorry when they can’t hear what you’re saying.”可知，大多数英国人打喷嚏时都会说对不起。他们也对天气表示抱歉，他们经常向彼此道歉，所以选项E“‘对不起’可能是英国最常听到的单词。”符合语境，故选E。 27．根据下文“They say sorry when they can’t hear what you’re saying.”可知，此处在介绍英国人说对不起的几个场景，所以选项C“他们在坐到你旁边之前也会说对不起。”符合语境， 故选C。 28．根据下文“At first, it meant‘painful, very upset and full of sorrow.’”可知，这里在介绍“sorry”的最初的含义，因此选项B“‘Sorry’来自古英语单词‘sarig’。”符合语境, 故选B。 29．根据下文提到“It’s just a more polite way of saying.‘We don’t really care.’”可知, 有时候“sorry”只是一种更礼貌的说法,，选项D“我们通常说对不起是为了表示礼貌。”符合语境。故选D。 30．根据“We are really sorry for saying sorry all the time.”可知，作者在结尾处说“我们真的很抱歉一直说对不起”，所以选项A“等等，我刚刚在一个句子里说了两遍‘对不起’?”符合语境。故选A。 Passage 2 （24-25九年级上·河南周口·期末） Unique Henan•Land of Dramas (只有河南•戏剧幻城) is a large cultural tourism project in Henan Province.
